Had been hard done by in the past - All previous judges were wrong

Well known winner - I knew it had won before

A new one to top honours - Why wasn’t I told it hadn’t won before

Must be made up - All future judges please follow me

One for the future - Come back in 12 months time

Not quite ready yet - Should have stayed at home

Needs to tighten up - Why don’t they give it some exercise

Has much to offer the breed - There is nothing else like it in the ring

An outstanding puppy - And even if it isn’t I know the owner can make up anything

Always one of my favourite breeds - Why aren’t I asked to judge more often

Enjoyed judging the breed again - It’s time I was asked to do CCs

Sporting breed - Someone who didn’t win bought me a drink

Pleased to see it do well in the group - I told the judge it was a good one

Moved like a train - Had steam coming out of its ears

Moved well going away - But it looked like it was beating eggs coming back

Sporting owners - Can be bumped without fear

A quality entry - I wish there had been a few more

An easy winner - The rest were shocking

These two could change places - I was probably wrong

Strode well out - Was moving too quickly for me to see anything

Not putting all in - It wouldn’t stand up

Has one big ‘if’ - I’m not saying what it is though, everyone knows about it but I don’t want people to think I missed it

Well handled by his young owner - I was watching the handler not the dog

A most popular win - The owners husband clapped

An enthusiastic gallery - The owners husband brought his mother and they both clapped

A packed ringside - The children came too

Promising puppy - I am going to put it up the next time I judge

Unlucky to meet winner - -ditto-

I understand this makes him up - I played safe

This was a difficult class to judge - I didn’t recognise a soul

Typical of this famous kennel - I know they have good ones and I hope this is one of them

An old favourite of mine - I put him up last time I judged

But a worthy champion - Past its best and should be retired

Short of coat - Bald as a coot

Coat not at its best - Needs a good brushing

Well bodied up - Fat as a pig

Impressed me on the table - But looked nothing off it

Not enjoying himself - A quivering wreck

 Rather heavy in ear - Ears like a cobblers apron

Spirited - Ferocious
